Hi guys ..
I just found out about this forum. I'm been attack by ransomware and lost all my data. This gives me very big interest to understand how antivirus software can protect against any type of attack.

Would anybody here kind enough to share how do you download sample from vault and uses for testing? I can't seems to find download location ... currently I'm using Bitdefender Gravityzone Business Security - wanted to test how strong this antivirus software on my spare laptop.

You can access the vault after you have made 100 quality posts here at MT.

Binks you might get lots of action if you start a thread on this one. You can create polls too. Which a-v is important, but there is so much more that can be done, so it's only part of the solution against today's threats...

Welcome to the community

The Golden Rule for security is Backup. Backup be against virus, backup be against misconfigurations, backup be against ransomware. You'll always be prepared then!

Welcome to MT
Make sure to post your Security Configuration so that we can rate it, and discover why you got infected.
The best AV discussion is very vague and personal, but I must tell you that the best security is always your brain
